City Of Chicago - Christy Moore

In the City of Chicago

As the evening shadows fall

There are people dreaming

Of the hills of Donegal

Eighteen forty seven

Was the year it all began

Deadly Pains of hunger

Drove a million from the land

They journeyed not for glory

Their motive not for greed

A voyage of survival

Across the stormy sea

In the City of Chicago

As the evening shadows fall

There are people dreaming

Of the hills of Donegal

Some of them knew fortune

And some them knew fame

Most of them knew hardship

And died upon the plain

They spread throughout the nation

Rode the railroad cars

Brought their songs and music

To ease their lonely hearts

In the City of Chicago

As the evening shadows fall

There are people dreaming

Of the hills of Donegal

Eighteen forty seven

Was the year it all began

Deadly Pains of hunger

Drove a million from the land

They journeyed not for glory

Their motive not for greed

A voyage of survival

Across the stormy sea

In the City of Chicago

As the evening shadows fall

There are people dreaming

Of the hills of Donegal

In the City of Chicago
